Ford Falcon 302 V8 1965

General description : SOLID & STRAIGHT FALCON, 302 V8, C6 AUTO, FRONT DISC BRAKES, RUNS & DRIVES GREAT

This 1965 Ford Falcon is the perfect mix of original '60s style with a healthy dose of V8 hot rod appeal. Best of all, this growling street machine is being offered for a very nice price.
The market for Falcons is heating up. They are that perfect machine to combine vintage style, lightweight body, and a setup that's ready-made for V8 power – and this one takes all those elements and turns it up a notch. There's a toughness that comes from matte black. It looks like it absorbs the sunlight, and so it's no surprise it also looks like it inhales lesser classics on the road. But look a little closer. The superior panel fit also gives this brute a very crisp appearance, like a finely pressed suit. Plus, this one didn't go for the complete blackout treatment. Instead it left plenty of brightwork to standout against the paint. This includes the wraparound bumpers, full-width grille, hood ornament, and an upgrade to iconic Cragar SS wheels
Inside are more great upgrades. It starts with swapping out the vinyl bench seat for comfortable high-back cloth buckets up front. They even took the time to get the rear seat and door panels to match, too. Plus, you have all the right modern cruising tunes with the AM/FM/CD stereo. But really, this is much more than a coddler. You know that the moment you slip behind the three-spoke sports steering wheel and spot the upgraded gauges, including the large AutoMeter Autogauge tach. And as your right hand grabs the B&M ratchet-action shifter, you get the tingle that there is something special under the hood.
One look at the engine bay, and you know there's plenty of power to back up the matte black image of this Falcon. These second-generation cars topped out at 289 cubic-inches from the factory, but this one was given a larger 302ci V8. It looks terrific under the hood with the Edelbrock valve covers, bold blue block, and upgraded pulleys with serpentine belt. And more than just appearances, you have performance upgrades like an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and mild cam to make this most out of this 302. It fires up with confidence as the stainless dual exhaust gives a nice growl. Plus, it has the right features for the road, like a stout C6 three-speed automatic transmission, front disc brakes, front sway bar, and traction bars in the rear.
This one is mean, comfortable, powerful, and yet still affordable. That makes it a great all-around custom classic. So don't miss this deal, call today!

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.

Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.

During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.

In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.

In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.

Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
